Thermodynamics and Fluctuations Far From Equilibrium
We review a coherent mesoscopic presentation of thermodynamics and fluctuations far from and near equilibrium, applicable to chemical reactions, energy transfer and transport processes, and electrochemical systems. Both uniform and spatially dependent systems are considered. The focus is on processes leading to and in non-equilibrium stationary states; on systems with multiple stationary states...
متن کاملThermodynamics Far from Equilibrium: from Glasses to Black Holes
Thermodynamics is the old science that describes the flow of energy in systems with many atoms. Works started by Carnot, Kelvin and Clausius showed that these laws are very general. This universality led to the formulation of the first and second law of thermodynamics, that apply to a vast amount of systems, such as gases and crystals. During half a century there was still a problem with the ap...
متن کاملFar-from-equilibrium distribution from near-steady-state work fluctuations.
A long-standing goal of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics has been to extend the conceptual power of the Boltzmann distribution to driven systems. We report some new progress towards this goal. Instead of writing the nonequilibrium steady-state distribution in terms of perturbations around thermal equilibrium, we start from the linearized driven dynamics of observables about their stable fix...
متن کاملThermal Fluctuations in Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics
Thermal fluctuations in fluids and fluid mixtures in stationary nonequilibrium states are spatially long ranged. This long-ranged nature of the non-equilibrium fluctuations is caused by a coupling between hydrodynamic modes through the non-equilibrium fluxes or gradients. The phenomena are discussed with some illustrative examples in fluids and fluid mixtures.
متن کاملThe Rate-Controlled Constrained-Equilibrium Approach to Far-From-Local-Equilibrium Thermodynamics
The Rate-Controlled Constrained-Equilibrium (RCCE) method for the description of the time-dependent behavior of dynamical systems in non-equilibrium states is a general, effective, physically based method for model order reduction that was originally developed in the framework of thermodynamics and chemical kinetics. A generalized mathematical formulation is presented here that allows including...
